Being rude is not a crime. Prisons are not full of people who were rude to others. Prison's are not full of people who cursed out people.
If anyone else responded to a nasty attitude with physical violence, they would be in prison. And the argument of, well, I had to attack the woman because she was impeding my job of providing customer service, is not a valid argument.
that wasn't being rude, that went over the top and beyond being rude....
she was wrong, period. If I would have ever talked to my parents like that, they would have cuffed me good....what is it with people today, using foul language to express themselves and to call people foul names like she did....that was unbelievable and if that is how any of you here express yourselves, then I feel very sorry for you, b/c you'll never get it...and the sad thing is, her parents never taught her mannors....if they had, she wouldn't have been in prison and dead today. All she had to do was put out her cig, and keep her mouth shut...that's all, and frankly, if she'd have talked like that to me, I'd have called the cops.
He was a cop!!!! Get that through your thick head!!! Cops enforce the LAW....and you have no business talking to them the way you do. He was nice to her, he didn't scream at her, he was patient with her, period. She escalated it...period!
Honesly I'm very very sorry she died....but, she was so totally wrong and I've got a lot of black friends that agree...believe me....people that are law abiding people. Yanno what most of them say? They fear the Klu Klux Clan more then they do cops and if these cop haters would just stop, it would be a much better world for them. And these are corporate people....church people, people who work hard for a living...
As a matter of fact, this was the topic for our church the other week. Bad parenting and kids that now believe it's ok to disobey the law.
She said, sure there are bad cops, there is good and bad in everything, however, not to the magnitude you would like to believe. And the sorry part is, you refuse to see it.
I would love to go out to Ferguson and interview those people, ask them where they live, what they do for a living, and where do they go to church. I bet over half of them don't work, and don't go to church, and sell drugs, rob people for a living.
That is not a role model....and no one anyone else should be proud of.

Being rude is not a crime dude. Get that through your thick head. Cops do not have the right to throw people in jail on trumped up charges because the population does not show them enough deference.
If someone was rude to you, and you called the cops, guess what would happen? They'd tell you to go your way, and her to go her way, that's it. It's not a crime to be rude. If however, you attacked her, you'd be in jail.
She committed no crime. Contempt of cop is not a crime. He had no business arresting her. It is not a crime to give someone, ANYONE, a bad attitude. Hell, I'm giving you an attitude. I think you're an idiot. Learn to stop using punctuation to simulate pauses in your stilted speech. Also, are you saying that if you're not a churchgoing, hardworking white collar employee that you are somehow a criminal? Is that what you think of black people? You're a racist and you don't even know it. You have no black friends who sit around with you and talk about the KKK. You're a liar, a fake, and a fool. Yanno?
why, b/c he/she says things you don't want to hear? That person is sharing their beliefs, like it or not.
Because the things that person says are stupid and not true. I've never seen a black person get offended by being called black. That alone tells me what the person says is nonsense.
Crime rate has dropped across the board for all races.
Crime is most closely linked to socioeconomic issues. As long as blacks are disproportionately poor and grow up in single family households they will continue to be a larger percentage of the criminal population. You also have the chicken and the egg affect in poor areas where crime is high. Crime is high, so more police are present, more arrests made, shows crime is high, more police present, more arrest made, and the cycle continues.
In the end, living a decent life in America for anyone is pretty easily attainable if you do just a few things
It is hard to work full time, if white felons get more callbacks for jobs than black college grads. Not a socioeconomic problem, it is more like systemic racism.
That we have many of the violent people mostly black and hispanic locked up is why the crime rate is lower, genius. If you were to release these people, which liberals try to do, the violent crime rate would shoot up.
No, genius, most of the people in jail right now are there for non-violent offenses: small amounts of drug possession. No harm in letting these people out. Some probably shouldn't be in jail at all.
Just stop. My arguments are rock solid and and I posted the desired sources. This is embarrasing even for the apologists.
You are ashamed of the black community and need to make silly excuses to disregard anyone who tries to hold up a mirror. You and people like you are holding blacks on the welfare planation whiles all other races continue to rise. Shame on you.
These are your facts, for all of the world to see, whether you like it or not:
These are your facts. Have the courage to pull your head from the sand and face them. This is not a legacy of slavery. This is not the results of white racism. This is blacks not trying to succeed. And unless people like you correct your poor, apologist behavior and demand a higer standard from american blacks, i will be making the same excellent points in 20 years and you will still be trying to find silly reasons to dismiss them.
Let's talk about the real facts. The Civil Rights Movement happened about 50 years ago. Racism didn't end with slavery. And it didn't end when the Civil Rights Movement happen. Widespread government sanctioned housing discrimination happened well into the 1970s. So best case we have 2 generations of black people with "full access" to equal opportunity. I am not going to discuss systemic racism issues right now.
Young black women have increased their high school graduation rate by 63 percent over the past 50 years, more than tripling it and “virtually eliminating the gap with Asian women (down to 2%), and significantly narrowing the gap with white women (7%),” the report notes. That gap between the rates of black women and white women has shrunk from 22 percent in 1960. They’ve also decreased their dropout rates, particularly in recent years. In 2006, 12 percent of black women dropped out of high school, and that number has declined consistently since 2007, falling by more than 40 percent and reaching 6.4 percent in 2011.
Statewide in Michigan, only 32 percent of public-school eighth graders scored grade-level proficient or better in reading, and only 31 percent scored grade-level proficient or better in math.
68 percent of Michigan public-school eighth graders are not proficient in reading and 69 percent are not proficient in math.
That looks like a broader Michigan problem to me.
What's embarrassing, is your insistence that everything is so "terrible" and that no one is doing anything, when on every measure black people are doing better than ever. But it is a lot more fun to find the negative stories.
I know the word "black" offends a lot of you, so I promise that from now on I will only use "African American".
Having said that, do you think it's a good idea to use a figure like Michael Brown as a rallying cry, considering that he was, after all, a criminal?
I'm an ex-cop. During the years that I worked as a cop, I pulled over some people that were rude and some people that were just as professional as I was toward them. Ever since I stopped being a cop, I've gotten pulled over a few times. And every single one of those times, I was always courteous to the officers and they were always courteous back to me.
I am not white. I belong to a relatively small minority group in the US. As a matter of fact, members of my group are often the butt of people's jokes. To deal with that, we just keep to ourselves and go on with our lives. Even the liberal movie makers are so afraid that people wouldn't watch their movies if they had the main character as someone from our group that they had to cast a white guy to play a clearly minority character. Think Dragon Ball Z.
My suggestion is if you want your message to be more effective, please choose another name that isn't connected to criminal activity to glorify. Every time I hear "Michael Brown", I can't help but get reminded that he was, after all, a criminal.
Technically, if you have ever taken a pencil or pen that was not yours......that is stealing and your a criminal. If you ever ripped the tag off a mattress in the past....you are a criminal. If you ever ran a red light....you are a criminal, because such is against the law.
Micheal Brown never murdered anyone.....that we know of. Micheal Brown worse offense, that I know of, is stealing cigars and grabbing the shirt of a store owner.
Here is a question for you. If the police apprehended Micheal Brown for stealing Cigars and shoving the store owner and then put on trial and sentence to death and executed for those crimes, do you think blacks would be justified to be outraged by that?
This is an issue of punishment fitting the crime, if you are going to make this an issue about his criminality.
Finally, your little small minority group does not have to protest. Why? You inherit the benefits of BLACK PROTEST past and present. You don't have to complain because we have complained and now you benefit from the human rights gained from our complaints and protest.
